I Want to, but... I Just Can't Trust Your Single Pane of Glass

This week's episode

is hosted by me, David Spark, producer of CISO Series and Mike Johnson. Our guest is Joshua Scott, former CISO, Realtor.com. All three of us discussed:

Is there a future for the integrated suite?

 For years, the selling point of the pane of glass was go with the integrated suite because it would cut down on time and cost of integration. But with the API first mentality, best of breed has become even easier to use making integration of disparate solutions into a single pane of glass very possible. This effectively eliminates the integrated suite's "pane of glass" advantage.

Setting up security guardrails for developers.

This is a prime spot for innovation. Many have discussed how can we create an environment where developers can stay within the confines of appropriate security while still having the freedom to innovate themselves.

If you're building a security program from scratch let yourself make mistakes.

Nobody gets it perfect their first time, especially if they're creating a security program from scratch. Being the first security person at his company and having no mentor, our guest made many mistakes as he set a course to build his company's security program. If you're in the same position, realize that's the norm and that's expected.
